Anger issues ~ Lockdown



 

1 Samuel 16: 23 AMP

23 So it came about that whenever the [evil] spirit from God was on Saul, David took a harp and played it with his hand; so Saul would be refreshed and be well, and the evil spirit would leave him.

 

I feel sorry for the women and children during this time of Lockdown. It's clear that married couples are not communicating with each other, and their spouses (men or women) have anger issues. They aren't talking to one another and, most of the time, grab a bottle of some sort to ease the pressure they may be facing. An evil spirit has taken hold of them, and now there is underlying anger that is chasing them. The slightest thing can set them off. 

What can we do to stop these angry outbursts? Just remember we are in a battle for our marriages. It's so easy to say pray about the situation you are facing, I know I was there. But, keep in mind God is more powerful than you think. I believe if you can take control over your own emotions and pray, asking God to help you stay calm, you have a fighting chance. Especially asking God to help you in not striking back.

On this note, please, I do not agree with abuse, if you are facing any sort of abuse, get out. It's just not worth it. God didn't create us to be abused. No.

These times are even worse, how to deal with people who just do not respect you? If you are being abused, phone and report it to anyone who is listening, don't let this go unheard.
Seek Godly people who can counsel you. 

Prayer
Dear Lord, Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, help me to always see the best in my husband. We both need to become slaves of righteousness. Help us never to use anger as a weapon against one other. Lord help us to see the best in each other. Stop us from constantly complaining and let us see the good in each other. Take all anger from us and teach us to love each other. In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen

2nd Wedding Anniversary!

Hey, hey it is my 2 nd anniversary!   This has been an interesting time in my life and I must be honest I am starting to see the changes in my own life.    Firstly remember I am a city girl with this bad ass attitude, my way or the highway.   Ah, now let me tell you that doesn’t work like this.   My husband has a firm hand over me and keeps me in toe.   I am still my own person and have many new interests.    How was my day today?   Well the normal, got out of bed at 04h30 and then left the house by 06h00 arriving at work at 07h00.   Then to top it off in an early morning meeting at 07h30 to 08h30, then back in the office.   I worked on three projects; getting information from people isn’t that easy.   I firstly completed my own scope of work, followed up with the suppliers and then going back to the next person.   As I work according to my time keeping schedule I then finally got to lunch time.   I...

Wisdom in Trusting God

Proverbs 3: 5-6 NIV “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.” My journey has been really interesting and there are days when I find it really difficult to trust in God.  On those days I go and make all kinds of plans and I think and worry about the matter at hand and at the end of that day I am tired, frustrated and I feel sick to my stomach.  Are you able to relate?   It sounds so easy when you read these words “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;”  Many times I take my problems to the LORD and I leave them with the LORD and after some serious thinking and worrying I go back to the LORD and take the problems back. This has been something I did for a number of years and lately, I have realized it has to change, I have to trust in the LORD.  After all, God is the creator and knows the plans for...
